Ipinost din niya ang kahulugan ng martial law mula sa Wikipedia: “Martial law is the imposition of direct military control of normally civilian functions of government, especially in response to a temporary emergency such as invasion or major disaster, or in occupied territory."

Pahayag ni Liza, na kilalang Duterte supporter: "Just by the definition alone, what the president declared is logical and objective. He is just doing his job to protect the rest of the territory."

“But now is not the time to do that. Actually, it would be so insensitive and just plain selfish for the rest of us to impose our own thoughts about the stigma of Martial Law at this time of conflict and terror.”
